Electrical Outage near Kings Canyon Road Injures 4 Fresco County Workers

 
FRESNO, CA (August 14, 2023) – Four Fresno County workers were injured in an electrical outage near Kings Canyon Road and Cedar Avenue on Thursday morning.
 
Around 5:30 a.m. on August 10, security received notification that building 319 and Modular buildings A, B, and C had all lost power. Officials said they contacted Fresno County’s facilities division.
 
While attempting to restore power, four of the staff sustained injuries. Three employees were transported to a local hospital.
 
All three were conscious at the time of transport and in stable condition, according to the facilities manager on-site.

While facilities staff members were en route and security was on-site responding to the call, officers observed a man on top of the building roof. The person was detained by security, cited for trespassing and released.

It is unknown if this person’s activities on the UMC campus are related to the electrical incident.

Due to the locations impacted by the power outage, several departments including Social Services, Behavioral Health, Emergency Services, and Internal Services are all collaborating on identifying alternate locations for staff to continue their work.
